I'm 19 years old and I'm dealing with protruding ears, they have always been my main source of social anxiety and insecurity. Ive gotten so frustrated with having them pop out of my head, and the ridicule and pain they've caused me, so when I found this surgery it was like finding the answer I had been searching for my entire life! the only problem is I don't have the 3000-5000 available, nor does my mother of 4 other kids. what would be the most affordable way to go about this? thank you :)
